CEREMONIAL CACAO BLESSING with Simone ( Elementals Love Aloha )
Begin the evening with a grounding and heart-opening Ceremonial Cacao Blessing, where we will gather in sacred space to drink the medicine of cacao, a powerful plant ally known for its ability to open the heart and deepen connection. Guided by intention and gratitude, we will set our personal and collective prayers as we sip this ancient elixir, allowing its gentle energy to guide us into a place of presence, introspection, and spiritual alignment.
KIRTAN
We will then begin the uplifting practice of Kirtan, where we will come together to chant sacred mantras, creating a powerful vibration of love, peace, and unity. This devotional practice, rooted in the ancient spiritual tradition of India, invites all to participate in the rhythm of the chants, allowing the music to open the heart and quiet the mind. Whether you're new to Kirtan or a seasoned practitioner, the energy of the group and the beauty of the sacred sounds will carry you on a journey of inner harmony and connection. All are welcome to experience the transformative power of collective chanting in a welcoming, inclusive space.
Facilitated by:
Paul Watt and Andreja Trobec
Mel Dobra and Josh Lever
KHICHADI
We will end the night with a bowl of nourishing Ayurvedic khichadi for those that desire (an optional extra charge).
Khichadi is Nevedya's most famous dish. Traditional Indian healing food that is cleansing for the digestion. Slow-cooked rice and dal with turmeric, ginger, masala ghee and coriander. Vegan option.
More cacao, tea and desserts will also be available for purchase.
THE SCHEDULE
• Doors open at 5.30 PM
• Cacao Ceremony starts at 5.45 PM
• Kirtan 6.30 - 8 PM
• Khichadi is served 8 PM
— Important Information regarding ceremonial cacao —
Cacao: it is highly recommended that no caffeine is ingested after the morning breakfast (because cacao contains Theobromine which is a stimulant similar to caffeine, so we don't want an over stimulation of the body-system). And also to have a large late lunch or afternoon tea, no later than 3 hours before ceremony, so your time spent journeying is on a relatively empty stomach.
— Please let us know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, on heart medication or MAOI or SSRI based anti-depressants, so we can adjust your dosage and check in with you.
